Shiloh has bladder cancer

[Sudilar]

Words cannot express my great appeciation of all of your kind words, thoughts and prayers. I am trying so hard not to feel sadness when I look at her. I speak to her in my "happy voice" and I hope all the hugging she is getting doesn't give my true feelings of unbearable sorrow away.

This morning the vet called and said that the bloodwork came back with no surprises. He wants to see her this week to check her bladder to see if it is growing......if it is then the end may be sooner.

I need to be strong and not mourn Shiloh BEFORE her passing, but it is so terminal....not like Killian (with him we could fight his diseases)......so hopeless.

Hugs to you all and be sure to give your furbabies all a big hug each and every day.

I can not think or say anything that will give you
comfort.

I will wish that you have many more walks and charished days with her.

Remember that Shiloh's Book of Memories hasn't been filled up -
there's still some blank pages ...

Enjoy each new day with her ... fill up some more pages.

Sue, know that I am thinking of you every day, even if I'm not posting here. There just doesn't seem to be words to deal with this. I wish for some warm sunny fall days to soothe Shiloh and you, even if the relief and pleasure can only be brief. Somewhere, someone must have the answer on how to face this type of situation. I am not the one because all I can do is cry.

As I am mostly on the Cat section, I only saw this thread now

OMG, this is terrible news..... . Isn't there anything rhat can be done to save her anymore? This must be so hard for you and your family... . Give your sweetheart Shiloh a gentle hug from me

You and Shiloh are, of course, in our prayers.

My "Aunt" Dottie, whom I may have mentioned before here on Pet Talk, was a smoker who died of lung cancer. The long summer she was dying, she told my mother (they were lifelong best friends, born two days apart) that it was okay, she was glad to at least have time to say good-bye to people.

This is your sweet time to enjoy Shiloh, knowing what is coming, but treasuring every quality moment you can have. There will be a time for more greiving later, but for now, just love her up. Give her a great big hug from me, okay? My very first dog was a Shepherd mix, smartest dog in the whole wide world. Aunt Dottie, by the way, *always* had a German Shepherd, my whole life. The first one, though, Kaiser, I never met. He was skittish of small children, and I was too completely fearless to be trusted not to run over to hug him.

I hope it's not growing and that that gives you just a little more time together. *HUGS*

Thinking of you and Shiloh. I'm happy to hear she's enjoying her walks.

Sue, know that I am thinking of you every day, even if I'm not posting here.

Sue that's me too. I just don't know what to say because I know words are just words and what you really need are just prayers and love and we are all sending you plenty of that from our hearts. Phred's prayer was beautiful, especially the part about the cloud. Made me tear up. I hope you are strong enough for whatever today brings. (((hugs)))

[Logan]

We're all right here, praying and hoping that you will have some more time with Shiloh, Sue, if it is meant to be. I know you are very worried and upset. I do hope you will get some of the answers you need today.

We'll be right here waiting for your update.

Love,
Logan

We are all here for you, post when you can. Hugs being sent!
